 description:
      - This module allows setting new variables.  Variables are set on a host-by-host basis just like facts discovered by the setup module.
      - These variables will be available to subsequent plays during an ansible-playbook run, but will not be saved across executions even if you use a fact cache.
+     - Per the standard Ansible variable precedence rules, many other types of variables have a higher priority, so this value may be overridden. See U(http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/playbooks_variables.html#variable-precedence-where-should-i-put-a-variable) for more information.
